JOHANNES WINKLER
* 1984, Blackforest, is a german artist, contemporary music composer [dipl.], concept developer, cultural ambassador and influencer. He lives and works in Essen.
Since 2017 he has been re-composing his wide ranging work in slide compositions, lecture formats and podcasts - as transmedial total artwork along moving images, contemporary music, text, software and experience.
Winkler has won the international sound art prize 'Karl Marx' BCMG (Birmingham/ London/ Trier), the ZKM Supercollider Code Marathon and is the initiator and lecturer of the South-Indian/-German Network Konnakol Germany. With hundreds of 'slide compositions' on social-media accounts, he influences his future works: 3D overview & links. Portrait in WDR 3 Radio Studio Contemporary Music. In march 2023 Winkler started his youtube podcast deconstructed.stories where he re-composes his modular slide-oeuvre (+ some interesting feeds from collegues and followers are presented there, too).

The Score of Influence is an interactive overview of the creative processes in Johannes Winkler's transmedial Slide Compositions Gesamtkunstwerk. Since 2017, it has been continuously updated, documenting the current aesthetic, philosophical and technical influences between the shown subprojects (read the new blog). On the 7 Instagram accounts, Winkler has been composing hundreds of 'narrative miniatures' as posts (music, videos, images, texts), that are interacting inside and outside its social-media bubbles. Instead of influencing followers, the primary goal is ... read more

... instead of influencing followers, the primary goal is to influence the creation itself - using Instagram as a kind of oeuvre-repository and dynamic sketch-board. On @winkler.works Winkler's Werkverzeichnis can be swiped: Each numbered post represents a multi-page work and is telling, documenting, anticipating - about the cybernetic everyday, metaphysics and aesthetics: people and art - people and numbers - people and nature - people and people. A transmedial narrative emerges along autobiographical points in time, streams and archives - in an interplay with presence formats.
Via 'Inter-Influencing' between his accounts, Winkler creates a 'sub-bubble' network. From there new forms and works are inspired and augmented towards further 'bubbles' like YouTube - as well as the local situation at the Here & Now (which is a bubble, too). Directly in front of his/your nose(s).
All artworks of the Slide Compositions Gesamtkunstwerk are available in the following public cloud, primary spread over Instagram accounts (carousel-posts, reels, stories) - with local copies on Winkler's harddrives for his further presence
slide performances and video-podcasts. Uninspired and inspired by Instagram, Winkler developed 'Maxgram' in 2022: an interactive, independent offline-feed presentation environment (programmed in MAX8). There are no followers, APIs, ranking algorithms nor Likes - so the focus relies more on content evolution. It can be seen in action on Winkler's Video Podcasts.SCREENINGS | LECTURES | CONCERTS

Advanced Carnatic-Rhythm Transfers: Researching & Teaching - Out of Germany, Essen
Infos, videos, team, backgrounds, course dates:
www.konnakol.de
Since 2018, our growing team of experienced southindian and german artists is teaching & researching advanced techniques of counting musical time-structures ('Konnakol' / 'carnatic rhythm'). Inspired also by Rafael Reina's PhD thesis (2014) about the application of special southindian-carnatic rhythm-techniques to the incorporation and creation of complex western (contemporary) music, we developed a course module-system with various contents specialized for typical needs of western musicians, composers, conductors, dancers and music-pedagogues aimed at students/professionals and step-by-step courses for beginners.
We are also working with time-relations between body, mind and software ('Digitus Manus - Digital Counting') and offer a docking station for language- and speech research (neuropsycholinguistics, speechtherapy).
